Book Reviews of The Big Knockover: Selected Stories and Short Novels
Book Review: Gripping collection of Continental Op stories
Summary: 4 Stars
Hammetts Continental Op loves his work, and his work
is manhunting. In this collection of short stories, he goes
up against Chinese gangsters, Balkan revolutionaries,
cowboys and more than a couple of spunky dames. This is
classic Hammett: sharp, detailed, and gripping. He never
misses a beat. Also included it "Tulip," a fascinating, but
slow semi-autobiographical piece.
